Instrument Description

Heated and unheated vial carriers

The APGC source enclosure incorporates two removable vial carriers (heated

and unheated). Each carrier can contain up to three vials:

•

The heated vial carrier is located on top of the mass spectrometer’s

source ion block.

•

The unheated vial carrier is located in the bottom of the source

enclosure.

Source internal components:

Warning:

To avoid burn injuries, take great care when working with the

heated vial carrier and vials. The mass spectrometer’s source ion block

becomes hot during normal use.
